During the opening credits of "The Simpsons" young Bart is shown writing the same sentence over and over again on a classroom chalkboard as punishment for something he did or didn't do or said, etc ... As every Simpsons fan knows, each episode has Bart writing a different sentence. The following is a collection of some of those sentences.

I will not carve gods. I will not spank others. I will not aim for the head. I will not barf unless I'm sick I will not expose the ignorance of the faculty. I saw nothing unusual in the teacher's lounge. I will not conduct my own fire drills. Funny noises are not funny. I will not snap bras. I will not fake seizures. This punishment is not boring and pointless. My name is not Dr. Death.I will not defame New Orleans.I will not prescribe medication.I will not bury the new kid.I will not teach others to fly. I will not bring sheep to class. A burp is not an answer. Teacher is not a leper. Coffee is not for kids.I will not eat things for money.I will not yell "She's Dead" at roll call.

I will not sell miracle cures.I will return the seeing-eye dog. I do not have diplomatic immunity.I will not charge admission to the bathroom. The cafeteria deep fryer is not a toy. All work and no play makes Bart a dull boy. I will not say "Springfield" just to get applause. I am not authorized to fire substitute teachers. My homework was not stolen by a one-armed man. I will not go near the kindergarten turtle. I am not deliciously saucy. Organ transplants are best left to professionals. The Pledge of Allegiance does not end with "Hail Satan".
